First ~ this is not a poll ~ i don't want to know how you'll vote.
But i'm wondering :- Has anyone changed their mind since the election was called?
If so what was it that affected your opinion?
Was it one specific issue,party campaigning,watching the interviews on tv or maybe just things you heard and read about.
Did anything you learned here change your mind?

I have.
At the start of the campaign I was "deffo" going to abstain or vote green. However as the campaign has continued I have increasingly decided that I am worried about the prospect of the Tories actually winning.
As a result I have changed my mind and I am probably oging to grudgingly vote Labour.

Hi Pixel
I started out very anti Blair and therefore inclined towards the Tories.
As discussions and broadcasts got underway I have moved to a Liberal Democrat view. Mainly as a result of some fine posts on this board which made me 'think'; partly because I don't trust Blair, but finally because of his {Blair,s} plea not to vote LibDem and let a Tory in.
It is not for him to tell me that I shouldn't vote for Kennedy, just so that he {Blair{ retains power. That is an affront , and as a result I'll definitely vote LibDem.
Regards
Novo

I've still not totally decided whom I will vote for; I'll make my mind up for sure tomorrow when I'm standing in front of the ballot paper... Got an interesting* perspective from my Father this evening, who has decided to vote for the conservitives, but its the reason why I liked; and he said as to why he was going to vote for them 'so they'l f*** up the economy and get interest rates up again' Not sure if its true that they will, or if thats a particularly good reason to vote for them following his arguement I've more reason than him to vote for hthem to increase the interest/earnings I'm getting from savings though I don't think I will .... I'm currently debating between a lib dem vote or picking the most rediculus sounding independant standing in our area

I made my mind up long ago which party I'd vote for - and the current campagning has only confirmed my decision.
NO-ONE tells me how to vote.
They can ask nicely..... but I won't be told!
My rather conservative parents coudn't tell me how to, either

The only real influence on me has been teh behaviou of the respective leaders of the main parties, and their actions and words (and lack of them).
